Solder is significant to the sports media in Colorado because he played at CU and the sports media - print, TV, radio, online - in Colorado is laden with CU homers.

What? 9News and Douch Soicher HATE CU. Have you read the DP? John Henderson is the biggest CU hater in the world. And besides no one wants to read about CSU signing one of the worst FBS recruiting classes or trying to build a 50,000 seat stadium when they can't even get 20,000 to a game.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

And sure there are exceptions but by and large the Denver media is in the tank for CU.

The media in Colorado just does not care about CU, CSU, DU, even AFA. And Denver is more friendly to CSU with the amount of CSU grads in the Denver area. The only guys that give CU any love either are neutral or CU grads(Rod Mackey). It's just the way it's always been and will be. It's a pro sports town and state everything else comes 2nd and CU will always get more coverage because they are the flagship athletic/academic school in the state. If CSU had more success and had more rounded academics then the coverage would definitely be equal and if CSU wants to get there then they need to show they are serious about improving.

I'm sure you've heard details about CSU's plan for an on campus stadium. Last I heard they only had about 50% of the needed money.

I'm going to side with AAA on this debate. CU seems like the lovechild of Colorado when it comes to athletics... However they deserve to be if they win more. CSU has gotten a lot of press lately due to them wanting to build an on-campus stadium (retarded, btw), but other than that really nothing for the past ~10 years I have been the least interested in news. I am in CSU's PhD program in Electrical Engineering (went to Wyoming for undergrad, so I cannot comment on CSU's undergrad academic quality) and the quality of graduate education in my field has been nothing short of amazing.

That said, I'd rather be in Fort Collins over Boulder anyday (and I smoke mmj). I want to be here forever. I've only been to Boulder like 4 times, and every time has been great fun, but the people there act much like the people from Steamboat - better than you in all categories. Snooty attitudes everywhere.

CU is getting more seating and new facilities, I'll post a picture of the model(Have a picture on my phone but can't post that now). There's no reason CU and CSU shouldn't be able to both near the top in their conference if CSU follows through their plans._________________

Major pain. I tend to attract a lot of what i don't want. One girl wanted to date me and we were "friends"(its in quotes because I don't like her at all), and she tried to sabotage my friendships w/ other girls and ruin other girls crushes... Girls are crazy. But when you have right one as a wingman it works out perfectly.
